	According to an [https://www.epri.com/research/products/3002006881 EPRI-Natural Resources Defense Council study], widespread electric transportation powered by a cleaner grid has the potential to reduce greenhouse gases by as much as 77% between 2015 and 2050. However, EV market transformation is time-sensitive: Because cars sold today are expected to last an average of about 12 years—with many lasting a decade longer—postponing the scale-up of EVs could result in missing 2030 climate targets.
